Portrays the reality of those times in Romania, 2 February 2007
10/10
Author: leontemihai from Romania

It's a movie about communism, a movie about struggle, a movie about faith in God. Arrested for being a member of a democratic party, Nicoleta Valeria Bruteanu enters the Communist Romanian prisons in 1949, and remains detained until 1953. There she finds the time she needs to think about her mistakes in life and tries to regain her faith in God. Soon faith united all cell mates and helped them endure and in the end survive the horrors of the Communist prison system. The title of the movie is at the same time the conclusion of the story - the suffering in the prison brought Nicoleta closer to God, closer to people around her, made her a better person.

The movie its a little graphic, but the director was somewhat forced to include such scenes to be able to reveal the brutality of the tortures methods. The English dubbing works well and most actors did an excellent job. I highly recommend this movie to understand better the suffering which the people in Eastern Europe and Russia were forced to endure.
